DIR. NEwMAN'S ADDRESS
The last speaker was Rev. Dr.. John P. Newman,
whose topic was "The Church's Responsibility"
he began by referring humorously to the harmony
that seemed to prevail. II what had been set forth
by these, he SAID, were facts, they are disgrace
to the city of Washington. He had no sympathy,
he said, with the conclusion that, because these
facts, therefore, the city of Washington is the
city in the world on %
hand, that for private virtue, public morality and
the majesty of the law, washington was one OF
the best cities under any sky. But the question
was, how are we to make 1t better? He maintained
that the responsibility was upon the church, upon
the clergy and the laity and urged that the church

The Hay Market.

To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR.
Consumer C. says one can go to the market and
buy hay direct from the farmers, but that he
bought from farmer, and instead OF hay got
brush, brtarS, weeds, &c. c. should have sent
some one who had sense enough to know hay from
brush, briars and weeds. His impression is that
the honest farmer can afford to sell hay at fifty
cents per cwt. OF course that suits consumer and
Mr.. Laerty while the latter makes his fifty cents
per load by keeping the price down for the con-
sumner. A farmer may keep his load Of hay in
market all day, without sale unless he sells at Mr..
Lanerty's price and he gets his fifty cents. Why
IS it that baled hay and straw sells at one dollar
per cwt.? asks the ytctimzed farmer. All that has

No Claim Against Mr.. King.

A SUIT GROWING OUT OF THE WEST WASHINGTON
BUILDING ASSOCIATION TROUBLES DECIDED.
A case OF interest growing out of the alleged
building association frauds in West Washington
was decided by Judge Merrick Friday. The Thir-
teenth Building association, through its officers
instituted suit against Mr.. William King. tr..
claiming about one thousand dollars on account OF
alleged overpaymentS to Mr.. King which were
obtained as claimed by fraud from said associa
ton. The testimony showed that Mr. William
King, 1r., had been member or the association
from 1878, the date Of its organization. That he
dues On shares in the association aggregating I'm
number sixteen to their secretary by checks and
In cash. That from time to time as provided by
the constitution OF the association Mr. King had
given notice OF his desire to withdraw on certain
Shares that in response there had been de-
ltvered to him checks signed by the presi.
dent, secretary and treasurer OF the association
which he had duly cashed. That these payments
and Withdrawals continued without objection by
the association or notice to making of any irrep11
arttieS until the trouble in the association In 1856
when, some eighteen months after the last with.
drawal and settlement of account, Mr.. King was
called upon to pay back to the association the
sums SO withdrawn on the ground that only about
1orty-six dollars OF the payments made by Mr..
King had reached the treasury OF the association
The court dismissed the BILL holding that the
association, under all the circumstances of the
case, was clearly estOpped from asserting the
claim made. In dism1ssing the bill Judge Merrfck
said there was nothing shown by the evidence In

Merry MaSqueraderS.
TIE sAENGEKBUND ENTERTAINs MANY GUESTS At


The characters assumed by the merry masquera-
ders at the ball given by the Washington Saenger-
bund at Aders hall, last night, were in many cases
picturesque and unique. Before nine o'clock the
hall with its Well waxed floor was crowded by tall
men dressed as babies or girls Spanish and Ital-
ian peasants and troubadours, demons, fat boys,
negro minstrels ROSTERS, Egyptian water carriers
dancing dervishes, clowns and other fantastic
fgureS. They filed around and around the hall
In the grand promenade The unmasked guests
were much amused by the antics of the motley
crew. From nine o'clock till the small hours OF
the morning the dancing continued, and few left
the floor before they had their full share of the
general enjoyment. Much OF the success OF the
affair was due TO the efforts of the president MIR.
c. Denekas, and the TanZ committed, composed OF
Me5srs Lepper RSchneider, A. Joers, j. Albrecht
and w. Berens. During the evening handsome
prizes We're awarded to those who were dressed in
the most unique and picturesque costumes. Con-
siderable sport was caused by lady who assumed
the tn character OF an Egyptian High Priest: Her
disguise was so perfect that the judges Messrs.
c. Denekas, Louis Faber and n. c. NJ. Authenrie1h,
awarded her the first gentlemen's prize. The
other prizes were won by ''Mare Stuart the ssBut-
terfty" and the clowns.
